Live an unforgettable experience on our whale-watching tours in Cabo San Lucas

Whale watching is an extremely popular activity to do in Cabo San Lucas during the first months of the year, so booking a private whale watching tour is a great idea to avoid the complications and stress of a regular tour.

The whale watching season in Cabo San Lucas may vary a little, but generally, it goes from late December to mid-April. Visiting Los Cabos around late January and March will be a great opportunity because by this time, mother whales have already calved, so baby whales can be spotted. This is one of the most interesting Cabo adventures available.

Whales live in very cold waters, but during the winter months (primarily humpback and gray whales), they travel to warm waters that offer good conditions to start their breeding season.

Our Private Tours Are The Best Way To Enjoy Your Los Cabos Whale-Watching Trip

In the La Isla Tour, we want you to have the best possible experience near the whales in your Cabo vacation. That is why we offer you a completely customizable tour in which our crew will take you to visit all the stunning spots of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean while looking for whales.

During the whale watching tour, there will be a marine biology expert aboard explaining everything you need to know about the whales, the reason they migrate, and information about all other sea creatures you see.

If you are interested in traveling to Los Cabos for a whale-watching cruise and want to be sure that there will be whales around, the Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources for Mexico publishes the exact dates of the whale-watching season each year.

It’s possible to encounter up to 7 different whale species during your whale-watching tour. Los Cabos is a main tourist focal point for whale watching, especially during the winter. While there’s a major chance to spot a humpback whale, it is also possible to see gray whales, blue whales, fin whales, minke whales, sperm whales, and even orcas migrate to Los Cabos through the Pacific Ocean..

The Sea of Cortez is also the natural habitat of a very rich marine life, so during your trip with us, you will spot sea lions, sea turtles, many different and colorful tropical fish, stingrays, and even dolphins.

If you visit Los Cabos after the whale’s season for breeding season, there’s still a possibility to spot some whales. Ask our staff if whale-watching tours are available by the time of your vacation.

Don’t Miss The Opportunity To Experience Whale Sightings In Cabo San Lucas During Their Annual Migration.

When booking your whale-watching tour, you can decide the schedule of your tour; all our boats are available to depart in the early morning, at midday, or in the afternoon.

The time of the day may slightly change a little your experience on the tour. Usually, morning sailing is smoother, and it is great to look for baby whales and their mothers, but in the afternoon, while the water gets rough, the whales are more active, so it will be possible to spot more than one.

To ensure the safety of all our passengers, it is not allowed to swim near whales during the whale watching tour, but on some lucky occasions, a whale decides to get close enough to the boat so it is possible to touch it with your hand.

Have All The Fun Aboard And In The Water During Your Whale-Watching Experience

Sailing with us, your whale-watching adventure will be so much more than that. Not only will our crew make sure you spot some whales, but they will also take you to the best locations of the Cabo San Lucas marina bay, like the famous Arch, Lover’s Beach, the Sea Lion Colony, and more.

You will be able to enjoy your trip abroad and in the water. On the catamaran, you will have everything you would need during the Cabo whale-watching tour. All our boats include a cooler with ice, water, non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, comfortable seating to enjoy the cruise, and a bathroom. If you want, you will be able to add extra food and an open bar with unlimited drinks and cocktails.

Jump in the water to swim among the beautiful tropical fish and have fun with your family or friends. On the boat, you will also have snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, and a water mat to have a fun and relaxing time after seeing the whales.

This was our second time on the Pelican in the last two months.

Our first one was a day cruise with water activities and snorkeling. The last one was an evening sunset cruise. They were both so amazing!

Our evening cruise was phenomenal – enjoying the arches at sunset, watching the sun go down and then relaxing on the water with all the lights coming from the resorts and marina – we could have stayed there all night. Everyone in our group thought this was the highlight of our trip. Upgrade to the premium bar and food package – it is so worth it! We cannot wait to go back and experience the amazing Pelican and their crew very soon.

Gracias!!

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! Absolutely AMAZING!

We only had about 6 hours to spend in Cabo while our cruise was in port. We wanted to see the arches, we wanted to snorkel, we wanted to cliff jump, we wanted to paddleboard and we wanted to lounge while eating/drinking. This checked off EVERY box!

The morning started by driving out to take pictures at the arches. We plugged in our music and enjoyed the beautiful views as we got out to the end of the cliffs. After taking some great pictures, we headed over to anchor up to swim and snorkel.

We spent the next 2.5 hours swimming with brightly colored fish and sea lions, diving/flipping off the upper deck platform, paddle boarding along the beach, dancing and eating the delicious chips and salsa. Seriously everything we wanted out of the day. It blew away our expectations.

Everything was ready before we arrived at the dock and the crew were very professional. Right from the start we knew we were in good hands.

Ceci was a fabulous host. She explained everything and made sure we had everything we wanted. She was fun, friendly and really made us feel at home while on board.

Jonathan definitely knew his stuff as captain. It was obvious he was going to keep us safe and also put us right on the best swimming/snorkeling. He’s a little reserved but we got him to joke around a little about bellyflopping off the high dive!

Kiara took AMAZING pictures! Seriously, she was never in the way at all but seemed to be everywhere at once documenting our adventure. At the end of the tour we had the option to buy all the pictures she took with her camera (expensive but the pictures were fantastic!) but she was also nice enough to take pictures with our phones as well.

Can’t recommend this tour enough! It was an absolute steal for the price.

Next time we are in Cabo we will book again without a doubt. Thank you La Isla Tours!

Gabrielle’s crew was a joy – many of us have been on private boat charters in Mexico but this was our favorite experience.

What stands out about this experience was the crew and the boat itself. The crew is focused on ensuring your group has a great time, and the boat itself had plenty of space for 16 people.

We loved the set up of the boat as there’s lounge furniture on both levels and is set up in an open format which makes hanging out with each other very easy.

The bonus was all the activity gear that comes with it. We also added on the open bar, food, and a photographer to capture our time on the boat. The photos came out awesome. We had an amazing weekend in Cabo in general but this was the best activity of the weekend and I highly recommending booking!
